Los Angeles Kings forward Sean Avery is in trouble again, this time for diving.

Avery was notified on Thursday that the league was fining him $1,000 for an alleged dive in a November 3 game against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Avery is appealing the fine through the NHL Players Association.

"I don't have a comment on it right now," Avery told the Los Angeles Times. "If I lose the appeal, I'll have plenty to say then. It's an issue I will not let go."

Avery was not assessed a penalty by game officials for the alleged dive, but a post-game review by league officials resulted in the financial hit.

The fine means this was Avery's second diving offence. Players get a warning from the league for their first offence, and a $1,000 fine for a second breach. A third dive results in a $2,000 fine. After that, it's a one-game suspension.

According to the Times, Avery's first flagged dive was October 19 against Colorado.

What a suprise. Pick a way a player can be classless, and you can bet Avery's done it. :bb:

Diving? Sounds likes something a French guy with a visor would do. Anyhow the NHL is out to get him.:haha: LINK

Ahaha, and Avery nailed Kariya from behind and called him a diver. What a hypocritic.
